@tryst@meow.social @Vordus@chitter.xyz This specific discussion aside, a screen reader's inability to interpret something doesn't automatically make it inaccessible. The software exists to convert data, not understand it.

@jscholes@dragonscave.space @Vordus@chitter.xyz I work for a big engineering firm where acronyms make information less accessible for everyone, doubly so for colleagues who rely on screen readers. Which was the original point. "A11y" is less accessible for everyone.

@jscholes@dragonscave.space @tryst@meow.social @Vordus@chitter.xyz Not necessarily completely inaccessible, but something that is specifically meant to work more on a graphical level will be worse through a screen reader than something expressed without typographical play. The similarities between 1, I and l graphically will not translate well at all.
